Monica is a life-long fashion lover. Starting with a subscription to Vogue at the ripe age of ten, she began sketching designs and religiously following the industry. She later modeled with Nordstrom for several years, before heading to UC Berkeley to study Political Science and Public Policy. While at Berkeley, she continued to design as part of the advanced costume design program. Her style and love of fashion was honed while living in London during the winter of 2010. While there, she achieved her long-time dream of attending Fashion Week and eagerly took advantage of the amazing vintage shopping offered by Portobello Road.Monica now lives in San Francisco where she works as an advertising consultant by day and style blogger at Hemingway & Handbags by night.
